Deadline management in Workflow

Hi,
My requirement is that ,for a particular workitem in a persons inbox, the deadline has been reached then a notification mail has to be sent to the person, i do not want to use the deadline management already available, can i do this by incorporating my own logic? if so then please tell me how to do this, plz mail me at [email protected]
Regards
Naren

You can but you have to use the same basic principles which SAP uses for deadline monitoring.
1. somewhere in the workitem the deadline date/time must be present
2. A job must run every x hours/minutes, which searches for these dates and checks if the deadline is reached, and in the job you can fire an event which the workflow waits for via a parallel fork 1 of 2 in which the second branch is a wait for event step.
Why doný you use the standard deadline monitoring instead, it's a bit faster and cheaper.

Workflow Deadline management

Hi Experts,
I am new to workflow.
I want to know regarding workflow deadline management.
What are exactly means of "Latest start", "Request end", "Request end", & "Latest end".
Please explain with example.
Regards,
Chandu

Requested start
If the work item is created before the requested start, it is assigned the status waiting.
When the requested start is reached, the system sets the work item to status ready.
If the work item is created after the requested start, it is assigned the status ready immediately.
Latest end, latest start, requested end
You can either notify someone or model a reaction in the workflow definition for when
the deadline is reached.
Example: I will take a simple example. Suppose we have a workflow which gets triggered
whenever we receive an order IDOC from partner. Now this workflow create sales order,
sales order delivery & goods issue document.
Now the business has following requirements:
1. Sales order should be created on the same day when we have received order.
2. Delivery should be created only after the two days of receiving order.
Now suppose we have received order at 09:00 AM on 1st July 2008.
Now for the first requirement we can specify latest start deadline for "Create sales Order".
Deadline period we can give as 09:00 + 5 hrs. we can also specify requested end as 09:00 + 15 Hrs.
While the latest end deadline for this task should be 09:00 + 1 Day(24 Hrs).
You can either notify someone or model a reaction in the workflow definition for when the anyone
of these deadline is reached.
Again for the second requirement we can specify requested start deadline as 09:00 + 48 hours.
So If the work item is created before the requested start, it will be assigned the status waiting.
When the requested start is reached, the system will set the work item to status ready.
If the work item is created after the requested start, it is assigned the status ready immediately.

We are about to embark on our first java project around document management and workflow.
I would be interested to know how others have approached similar projects – Open Source applications or other tools/APIs.
It would also be good to know of any issues encountered along the way.

Document Management distribution workflow

I have activated the document management distribution workflow. When I start the documenent distibution the workflow is not started. When I go back to check the started of the workflow in spro it will be deactivated.
How can I activated it permanently or is there some configuration that need tobe done?
Points will be awarded.

Hie Sreecharan. It is not working. The workflow is continuously being deactivated.
I am activating it in spro, under 'Perform task-specific Customizing'. Under CA, I go to Document Management and click on Activate Event Linking.
I expand WS20000104 and click on deactivate and it displays a green buttonthat it is activated.I then click on the properties of the event linkage button. and followed your instructions. The save button will be disabled. When I close the dialog box, on re-opening it, it would have defaulted to 'System presetting'.

Document Management and Workflow Packages

Hello SAP Community,
My company is considering a document management solution integrated with a work flow package in regards to automating and providing visibility into our entire account payable process. I was wondering if anyone out there has implemented such a solution, how long it took to implement and what the licensing costs were. I am aware of the many packages out there available from SAP certified partners, and I was just wondering if anyone could give me real world insight into their experience with implementing a document management / work flow solution.

HK

Workflow Manager Suspends Workflows - "Invalid JWT token"

Hi,
I've installed Workflow Manager with the default settings described in this Technet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193514.aspx. Everything seems to install just fine but when I create a very simple workflow test on an "Announcements" list which simple
creates a Workflow History entry. However, the workflow immediately suspends with the following error which seems to be some kind of an authentication error. I am running the workflow logged on as a site collection administrator which is not 1. farm administrator
or 2. the service ID that I input into the Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard.I also DO have profiles installed, the user running the workflow DOES have a profile and I DO have the App Management service application installed. In addition, I rebooted the
SharePoint VM after the install
Given that Workflow Manager, Workflow Manager Client 1.0 and Service Bus 1.0 are all running on the same server as Central Administration (since I only have the one SharePoint VM) perhaps the reference to "SAMEORIGIN" in the error means something?
I've installed Workflow Manager with the same instructions on other farms in the past and not had this problem and wondering whether the June 2013 CU has introduced this error. . .
Please help!

Hi,
Base on the description, an unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance.
I suggest you to use other account to test the workflow. Please make sure you are not using system account. Also please make sure User profile service is running and syncing with active directory. As I've found sometimes workflow tries to read user information
from user profile service and if the user details missing in User Profile service, the workflow might get failed. The original error is "Token Contains Invalid signature" which means either the user is system account or the user doesn't exists in user profile.
There is an article about the error message, you can refer to it:

We dont have any standard workflow templates for SAP AM. You can also verify it under PLM_AUDIT package-business engineering.

Find manager in workflow...

Hi,
I need to find the manager in the workflow, WHO HAS THE APPROVAL LIMIT. Manager has to have the approval amount limit.
Thanks in advance,
Sukumar.

Sukumar,
It is sort of thing which HR person should do, like setting up of authorization limit, grp etc.
You can also use different evaluation path (or create your own) to determine this.
Talk with HR person would be beneficial.
Cheers

Exclude manager from workflow

Hi experts,
How to set start condition in workflow?
here is my client case,
if Manager create "travel request" than the workflow shouldn't trigger.
I have create workflow, with start event of travel request created.
for employee who has manager, when they create travel request, workflow will send "task" to manager for approve or reject the request.
but, if the manager create travel request, I want the workflow to not be trigger.
how to achieve this?
thanks

Hi,
You can use check FM to control the triggering of WF.
Check FM has object key as import parameter,you can use this key(pernr) to check whether the employee is manager or not.
Use logic maintained by HR team that marks an employee as Manager.
the interface for check FM is as below :
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(OBJTYPE) TYPE SWETYPECOU-OBJTYPE
*"     VALUE(OBJKEY) TYPE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY
*"     VALUE(EVENT) TYPE SWETYPECOU-EVENT
*"     VALUE(RECTYPE) TYPE SWETYPECOU-RECTYPE
*" EXPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(REFERENCE) TYPE C
*" TABLES
*"      EVENT_CONTAINER STRUCTURE SWCONT
*" EXCEPTIONS
*"      NOT_TRIGGERD
Here objkey is key of BOR object used for Travel.
Use logic to find whether employee is manager or not, and if not raise exception. This will stop WF to trigger .
Once you have created the WF, go to SWE2 and look for entry of your BOR object and your Workflow template number.
Display the entry and maintain your FM in 'Check Function Module'.
If you want to debug the code, put an external Break point in Check FM and use SWUE to trigger the workflow.

Sangvir Singh

Training and Event Management: Start Workflow after PV15 is finished

I need to start a workflow when transaction PV15 (Follow Up Business Event) is finished for a business event. As I saw in event trace there is no standard BO event created when finishing the follow up. So obviously I have to do it manually. But I also didn't find a BAdI or user exit which can be used for it. Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem? If there is no solution for it I will eventually use a job who checks new follow up flags for business events. But maybe there is a better way?
Regards,
Robert

Well, I really thought these transactions could be helpful. But I'm not yet sure if they could solve the problem. Transaction PV15 changes infotype 1026 (field FLUPX - Indicator: business event follow-up processing completed). That's what I'm interested in. So I'm not sure if Infotype 1001 with subtype A025 with activity as ACER is responsive to finishing PV15. Therefore I added a new entry in SWEHR3 for infotype 1026 and update operation using my own delegated business object Z_PDOTYPEE with the new event POSTPROCESSINGSTARTED. Additionally I wrote a check function module to be sure that the workflow is started only in case IT1026->FLUPX is set. But I don't know what kind of object key will be used when calling event POSTPROCESSINGSTARTED of business object Z_PDOTYPEE. Maybe the key of IT1026? Does anyone know that? In fact the key seems to be different to the expected object key of my business object. When finishing transaction PV15 for a business event the new check function module was called but execution fails with a very strange object key and a very strange error message. What else can I do to solve it?
Regards,
Robert
